Howdy folks, getting back into the swing of things for 8th and the Legion War is the perfect motivation! I snagged a very nice Atropos knight that I am in the process of strapping dead bodies to and covering with rust, all in the name of Papa Nurgle. Will likely post other things here when I finish, hence the other tags. Any and all tips and critiques are welcome! If the photos are execrable, I apologize in advance. I am no photographer. http://i.imgur.com/Gok2ta4.jpg Here are all the bits, with just some of it primed. This is about a week old or so. http://i.imgur.com/YxLkByz.jpg Spiky Bits all over the carapace. Need to magnetize this so it can lift off without too much wear on the paint. I am not sure there are enough spikes. Is it clear this thing is a Chaos Knight? http://i.imgur.com/7Yr5bVH.jpg Disassembled body, shoulders and weapons. Weapons are magnetized, and when it all snaps together it looks something like this: http://i.imgur.com/jbRlzre.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/TC6ioRv.jpg Armor plating. This is just the first coat or two, still need lots of weathering and wear and tear. http://i.imgur.com/TC6ioRv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sOKpeIe.jpg Close up of the head. Added mandibles to make it look a bit more sinister and insectile. http://i.imgur.com/K5OKm6S.jpg Control panel, cracked and useless... which is fine because the pilot can't read. I am very not good at detail work, might be a symptom of my limited color palette. http://i.imgur.com/C92Kaoa.jpg Mummified (mostly) dead fella at the controls. I used bits from the corpse cart and wedged 'em in there, and I am glad I am a traitor because a good chunk of the left armrest had snapped off in shipping. http://i.imgur.com/7udahEm.jpg Legs, with rust and an additional friend hanging around. I am pretty proud of the rust- made my own in an oiler bottle using bleach and white vinegar. The effect is authentic enough but it creates a bit of chlorine gas as a byproduct. That is ok though- you can't dedicate a project to Nurgle without a bit of poison fumes wafting about! Seriously though, good ventilation is key. http://i.imgur.com/zqEiM2h.jpg And bonus is a little kitbashed daemon prince. I need to clean up/disguise his GUO elbow as well as that vox sitting on his back, and probably mess with the DE masks to make them more 'Plague Garden' and less 'Commorragh' but you get the idea.

So yeah, let's start this thing with the before pics. Now that I will finally got the glue to stick with help from Excessus, I'll be adding a basecoat and will hopefully have a wip pic up later today, or tonight, est.
